Question

If a mutation in DNA caused a new amino acid sequence to occur, what might happen to the subsequent protein?​

Answer 1

The amino acid R group can change which will lead to different bonding during protein structure formation. Different bonding will create new shape which will create a new function or a less functioning protein.

Answer 2

The amino acids contain R groups that interact with each other creating a three - dimensional structure. This higher - order structure decides the biological activity of that protein. if the wrong amino acid joins the polypeptide chain the higher - order structure will change, effecting the functioning of the protein.This will lead to many diseases such as sickle cell anemia is most common.
